Thanks for the clearification Johnman.
However, for my final 2c worth, I disagree with Al Meredith tho. I would keep the car as far away from George as possible, which is to say do not even think about going south east of Nashville...especially toward Atlanta. |

Dr Mike, I'm finishing up a -6 restoration (see my blog) and will offer any help/advice I can if you end up doing work on it yourself. You'll find loads of supportive folks here. I'm very glad you've decided to repair this beautiful car! Mike |

Well Guys!
DrMike brought the poor GT to me and we have been fixing it. It was a real mess Mike gets Kudos for repairing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) It will be done in about a month or so. We fixed all the damage and have it painted. We installed GT frame stiffners as mike wants to do some DE's. We are also installing a 2.7 RS type but only 9.8CR it will put to the groung 220 hp. It will be a ball on the track as well as the street. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Here is some pics. Attached image(s)

The first pic you posted was my desktop for the longest time (not sure where I got
the pic) and I loved that car. Thank God no one was hurt. I can't imagine how your son felt killing his dads mistress. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and this time it isn't a train. Looks like they are doing a wonderful job on it. She'll be as good as new in no time. You should name her phoenix, (Iknow I spelt that wrong) rising up from the ashes... |

Nice job!!! Great to see the car was saved and will return to the road.
Is or was the car chassis straightened on a Clette bench? How do you check to see if a car is straight after a crash like this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |
